Yes.
The law recognises that parties can be separated but continue to live in the same house. This is known as ‘separation under the one roof’. If this applies to your situation, you need to prove to the Court that you were separated during this time. There may be difficulties in establishing that separation has occurred in these circumstances. Parties would be expected to sleep in separate rooms and render minimum household services to one another.
